Been having a blast recording this special tune with @jacobthompsonmusic all week. Can’t wait to mix this thing tomorrow!

Had such a great time with these dudes this weekend. I also got to try out some of my @uaudio holiday haul. So, all in all, not a bad way to be in the moment.

Listening intently.

Kicking ass and taking names during our vocal session yesterday.

Been having a blast with @hannahrooth and @wildhummusic this week! Safe to say I can say the same for Haddie.

That’s quite the vocal chain: live re-amping, memory man, OCD, and a terrifyingly awesome performance by @zooxray to match.

When a listening party turns into a dance party.

Achieving my squad goals with @portuisright4u, @danielyjk, and @chagdrums over the past two days of tracking. Happy to have so much talent in the same room!

Plenty of room for some room in this mix, and what better room to use then my own?

Wrapping up mixes for @indianaheights today (but also playing with the camera on my new 📱) #treatyoself

Caught bobbin’. @bryanfellow

This is my new favorite way to do pre-pro. It’s like sitting in two driver’s seats at once. Take the wheel and drive! @portuisright4u

Wuff.

Listening party with @americanradiation. Bittersweet because I loved working on this record!

Excited to be back in the studio with @alexfammusic this week!

6 days later, we have an EP! Just like that. Here’s a shot of the last thing we recorded. Pro tip: mic a gloc from below to help tame the attack and brightness 😉

I wish I captured the look of excitement of @aedanmcevoy’s face when I handed her this megaphone. This photo will have to do!

Out of frame but this one took 3 hands to play 😉 @swiftglidden

Yummy tubey vocal sounds with @swiftglidden brought to you by the UAD 610.
